Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Prepare to use translation technology

  1. Check translation technology and confirm familiarity and useability and address issues and limitations.
  2. Negotiate use of translation technology based on client’s requirements and resources and the implications for the source text and assignment conditions.
  3. Confirm currency and version of equipment and upgrade if required.
  4. Consider and select client agreed applications of terminology and address special requirements.
  5. Confirm shared access to glossary and supporting documentation with client.
